Last month here at Samantha Prewett Photography in Poole, Dorset I photographed the lovely little Erin, little sister to Elliot who has his own blog; Entertaining Elliot! It is not often that I photograph babies this age, as they are inbetween the "normal" photography ages for newborn and baby photography. Seen as I have a more natural style and I don't have a strict posing style like many other photographers I thought why not! And I am very glad that I did. As you can see here, we managed to get some beautiful shots during our session.

At this age babies are starting to get more interactive and we managed to get the perfect mix of cute little expressions as well as some sleepy shots.

I usually take babies from 6 weeks for "baby" sessions as these last 1 hour , where as a "newborn" session is for around 7 days and lasts between 2-4 hours. This is not to say that I won't take babies in between these ages, as you can see here. If you are interested in having a session when your baby is between these ages we would have a conversation first to see which package would be best.

Erin's session was wrapped up in around 1.5 hours, I am always happy to go on a little more than 1 hour for a baby session if required as I am aware babies are still quite unsettled and needs lots of cuddles,feeding and changing at this age.

It's lovely 'hearing' your behind the scene thoughts and practices. Never really think about how tricky it can be working with little people ; )
